"Great value for the money"

“Grenache Noir and Mourvèdre blend beautifully in this wine, which is dark in color but luminous on the nose, with crisp notes of grenadine and blackcurrant. It is equally delightful on the palate, with a full-bodied, round attack, a warm mouthfeel, and an abundance of jam-like fruit, tightened on the finish by well-balanced tannins. Powerful, rich, and well-rounded, the jury succumbs to the charm of La Galante.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2019 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the wine:

With a silky texture that remains consistent throughout, its aromas of black fruits, spices, garrigue, and licorice lead to a long, finely structured finish.

About the estate:

Christèle Plantevin loves cooking and wine. She first pursued a career in another field before returning to Cairanne to take over this family estate, founded in 1902, where the garrigue terroir (red clay subsoil and pebbles on the surface) lends power and complexity to her wines. Limiting yields helps preserve the richness and distinctive character of both the reds and the whites.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (Outstanding Wine)

Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Black Grenache and Mourvèdre blend beautifully in this wine, which is dark in color but luminous on the nose, with crisp notes of grenadine and blackcurrant. It is equally delightful on the palate, with a full-bodied, round attack, a warm mouthfeel, and an abundance of jammy fruit, tightened on the finish by well-balanced tannins. Powerful, rich, and well-rounded, the jury succumbed to the charm of La Galante.

About the estate:

After spending ten years in marketing for major food companies, Christèle Plantevin returned in 1997 to the family estate, which was founded in 1902. As the head of 50 hectares of vineyards, she represents the fifth generation.
